C++ 3D Game Tutorial Series: 8 | Basic Animations | Source Code on GitHub

The source code of the 8th tutorial of the C++ 3D Game Tutorial Series is now available in early access on GitHub!

In this tutorial, we’ll dive into basic animations using constant buffers!

Specifically, we’ll cover:

• How to create a constant buffer.

• How to pass data from the CPU to the GPU.

• How to use that data in shaders to transform and scale a colored quadrilateral.

• How to compute delta time in the game loop, enabling smooth animations like a zoom-in/zoom-out effect.

• Improvements to various parts of the source code, such as smart pointer aliases and disabling copy/move methods using macros.
